Wow. It started snowing yesterday about 2:30 in the afternoon, so the drive home from work was ridiculous. Ridiculous, I say! It took us about 40 minutes to get home when it normally takes 20, but because we get off work half an hour earlier than most people, we got lucky. I heard all sorts of stories about people whose drives home took 2 or 3 hours. For. Crying. Out. Loud. All the public schools are closed again today, but we're still slogging into work. I'm not going to lie to you, people, I'm starting to get bitter about our lack of snow days around here. And I know you're thinking "You're not 8. You don't get snow days anymore." And you're right. But I still want them.
The good news about all this is that I have absolutely no desire whatsoever to go to the gym at night when the weather's this bad, so I've just been sitting at home bundled up and throwing milk caps at the Wubby J. to pass the time. It's not bad. I don't even feel guilty because I believe the extra layer of fat will come in handy when the wind chill hits me.

Taking a short break from the gym is not going to make you fat. Is it even possible for you to get fat?
I think adults should get snow days too. We're the ones doing the driving and causing the wrecks out there.
I second that emotion! Who, exactly, is taking care of all these kids who are off school, too? I don't know how working parents deal with that. The drive in really was a mess today. And I'm quite sure the students here wouldn't mind a day off. Why am I here??
Tell the Higher-Ups that the City of Miamisburg let their entire detective section go home at 2 yesterday. If a city can operate without their detectives the least they can give you is a 2 hour delay!! Geesh!
Oh! See there, that is so unfair! Why do a bunch of librarians have to come to work when detectives get to go home?! Nothing I do is even remotely as important as what they do!
Is Miamisburg where Miami University is?
Yeah, your administration sounds kind of mean. Ann, being a librarian is very important. Don't sell yourself short.
They should make a show about a librarian that helps to solve crimes!
Miami U. isn't in Miamisburg, but there are a bunch of things in that area named after the Miami River (or Miami Indians? I'm not sure).
Katie, I love your idea about a crime-solving librarian! I once figured out who took the last piece of cake I wanted. Does that count?
i would watch that show! My reality show idea is one called "The Gallery" and it would focus on an art gallery and the egos/personalities of emerging artists, their work and trying to make in the cold hard world of visual art! Are you asleep yet? :)
Ann, it is hard enough to be motivated to work out when the weather is above freezing, much less 15 degrees BELOW!
Wow, I'm gonna sound like a geek but...Katie, there's actually a TV movie series starring Noah Wyle (of ER fame) about a Librarian and his adventures. Now I haven't seen them (Really! I haven't!!!) but when I heard about them, I thought they should be starring Ann and the Marshley too. Oh well.
Just saying hi from 70 degree, sunny New Orleans. Come visit. You could even go jogging on the streetcar track without worrying about a streetcar hitting you.
My brother Steve is commenting? Steve! Where have you been? Swamped under piles of diapers? How are things?!?
I've heard of that Noah Wiley show... but that is more Indiana Jones. For Ann, I'm thinking something along the lines of "Bones" but we would get her a much cooler than that. The choice of super hottie detective partner is up to her :)
The tag line could be something like "She may not have all the answers, but she knows where to find them!"
And of course, we would all guest star.
Yes, I'm much more inclined to star in a show that doesn't involve me getting dirty, so that sounds good. I would like to have either George Clooney or Kathy Griffin as my detective partner, and I'd make it a point to use a 5-syllable word in every show. "That's so bibliographic!" See? See what I did there?
I am loving Ann's tv show idea! Could i be the quirky sidekick, please??
i went to the gym today and came back not wearing my sweatshirt, it is GORGEOUS here today! Sorry, Ann! :)
I'd play myself, of course, the smart-ass receptionist in the President's office who slips you info once in a while. Jeremiah could be the IT guy who's pining for you and helps with all the computer stuff. The one all the viewers want you to be with but they know the writers will stretch it out. Will they? Won't they?
Oooh, I like all those ideas! We could just have Clooney guest-star sometimes because it sounds like a full cast already. If Phyllis Diller's still alive, I'd like her to play the head librarian.
Phyllis Diller would be AWESOME!!!
We could give Clooney a line or two per episode. He could have a bit where he's always shelving.
He could take out the library trash, too.
ok, just wanted to clarify that when i came back from the gym i was wearing a t-shirt. was re-reading and it sounds I came back topless, whoops.
tv shows sounds fabulous, who is going to pitch it to a network? :)
I don't know. Do we think big and start with the major networks, or do we slum it on the CW?
I wanna be somebody!! Who can I be?
I'm afraid this might be CW material unfortunately...
Katie, you can be my roommate or friend who lives in the same apartment building. You can be my Kramer but waaaaaay cuter!
By the way, this is the most comments I've ever had on a post. Gnarly.
YES! The wacky neighbor! I'll be good at that!
I totally have a detective to be your onsite counsel when writing those "Law Enforcement" scenes!! He can right a mean search warrant!
duh, write...not right. Is it Saturday yet...UG!
